Would you launch the official FF11 classic server with QoL changes?

I would like to see everything up to Treasures of Aht Urhgan and implement Mythic weapons with it as a Quality of Life change! However I would not be against adding Wings of the Goddess or the add-ons, but the cut-off date for updates would have to be the March 23rd, 2010 update just like Wings.

Sky, Sea, AF2, Limbus, Salvage, Einherjar, Nyzul... When endgame meant alliances and group content. When every piece of 75 gear was a long-term goal. Everything before that date is the golden 75 era!
What works for WoW isn't guaranteed to work for other games. See the other "classic server" topic we just had and all the ones before that. SE has already said "Not happening."

The WoW team has the resources and community size to launch a whole bunch of versions of the same game. the FFXI team does not. The community isn't big enough for that either.

That said, I think they would stand to gain from promoting the game to FFXIV players, if they did it right by offering a combined subscription promotion and making improvements to the UI and stuff to be easier for people used to modern MMOs. The unfortunate reality is they did have such a UI in development at one point (which a few of us got to try a VERY early version of on the test server back when we had one), but it was sadly scrapped.
